Did you know that, after Yellowstone and Sequoia, Yosemite is the oldest National Park in the United States? Officially established on October 1st 1890, the park turned 125 years old this past week.
Inspired by this fact—and a beautiful collection of images that 500px-er and travel photographer Michael Bonocore put together over on Resource Travel—we decided to create our own collection of the most beautiful Yosemite images on 500px to honor the old park’s momentous birthday!
With the sheer number of Yosemite photos on 500px—there were over 31,000!!!—it was incredibly difficult to pick just 25. We tried to pick some traditional views, some unusual compositions, and a few really beautiful images that add the human element to really round out this collection.
If you have a favorite Yosemite shot on 500px that we didn’t feature, or your own image you’d like to share in honor of the park’s 125th anniversary, please drop us a link in the comments! Otherwise, scroll down and enjoy : )
